Teaching of Taqwa through fasting

Allah has mentioned in Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 183:

قون یام كما كتب على الذین من قبلكم لعلكم تت ھا الذین آمنوا كتب علیكم الص یا أی“O you who believe, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those

before you so that you may become righteous”

In this verse, Allah clearly mentioned that the purpose of fasting is to make us become Muttaqun (righteous). But this verse does not mean that it is guaranteed that as a result of fasting you will become a righteous person. Instead, this verse gives us optimism and hope that with fasting, we can attain its purpose,, which is to become a righteous person.

Set our intention firmly that we will become a better Muslim with this Ramadan. You can set your niyyah (intention) to fast for the whole Ramadan! But it is also recommended to set your intention every night. So, don’t forget to set your niyyah (intention) to fast!

Ramadan as a month of training

Narrated by Abu Huraira R.A.:

یاطین م، وسلسلت الش ماء، وغلقت أبواب جھن إذا دخل شھر رمضان فتحت أبواب السAllah's Messenger (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) said, "When the month of Ramadan starts, the gates of

the heaven are opened and the gates of Hell are closed and the devils are chained."(Sahih al-Bukhari, 1899)

Ramadan is a month given by Allah to train ourselves to become good and faithful people and protect ourselves from committing sins. In this month, all the devils are chained. So, we cannot miss this chance that Allah has provided us to prepare ourselves for the upcoming challenges in future months.

List down all bad habits or behaviours that we struggle with in other months and try to eliminate all of them or as many as we can to see how much we improved after Ramadan.

for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion.”

Ramadan is such a blessed month that in this month, Allah has revealed Al-Qur’an, the ultimate guidance for us. It was revealed all at once to Jibril A.S. in the night of Al-Qadr before it was revealed sparingly to our prophet Muhammad (Pbuh).

Be motivated and set your niyyah (intention) to finish the whole Al-Qur’an in Ramadan this year!

Expiations of sins between Ramadan to Ramadan

Abu Huraira reported:لوات الخمس والجمعة إلى الجمعة ورمضان إلى رمضان مكفرات ما بینھن إذا اجتنب الكبائر الص

Verily the Messenger of Allah (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) said: “The five (daily) prayers and from one Friday prayer to the (next) Friday prayer, and from Ramadan to Ramadan are expiations for the (sins) committed in between (their intervals) provided one shuns the major sins”.

(Sahih Muslim, Book 2, Hadith 19)

Consistency in good deeds is so important that it becomes a reason for Allah to atone our sins from one Jum’ah prayer to another and from Ramadan to Ramadan as long as we preserve ourselves from doing major sins.

Make sure to always pray on time. To serve our Lord is more important than to serve anyone or anything worldly (Dunya).

(Jami` at-Tirmidhi, 3472)*Tasbihah is saying Subhanallah

Ramadan is the month where the merit of our deeds is multiplied in a manifold manner. We must strive to benefit from this special month as much as we can.

Maximize your good deeds and rewards from Allah! You can say Subhanallah as much as you want, while you cook for iftar, doing your office work, driving, or whatever you are doing.

leaving his food and drink (i.e. Allah will not accept his fasting.)" (Sahih al-Bukhari, 1903)

Allah will not accept the fasting of someone who does not preserve his tongue and his limbs from doing bad actions. What he will get from his fasting is no more than merely hunger and thirst.

Reduce conversations that are not important or not necessary and refrain from doing bad deeds by making ourselves busy in doing good deeds.

واسع علیم یضاعف لمن یشاء وهللاThe example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a grain (of corn)

which grows seven ears; in each ear is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies (His rewards) for whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.

Whoever spends their money in the way of Allah, Allah guarantees to multiply their rewards up to 700 times! It is such a waste if we refuse to accept these rewards.

Be wise. Don’t follow what the Devil keeps telling you. Spending some of your wealth would not make you poor. Instead, it makes you richer in Allah’s Sight.

give them to the poor, it is better for you, and He will remove from you some of your misdeeds [thereby]. And Allah, with what you do, is [fully] Acquainted.

We can disclose our charities not to show-off (riya’) to other people but to encourage them to give charity as well. But, if you conceal it, that will be much better for you.

You can teach your kids or relatives to give charity by showing them that you are giving charity. Indeed, teaching with actions is better than speech.

Make a lot of Dua’s 10 minutes or 5 minutes before Iftar. Don’t just feast your eyes with the food that you will eat in just a few moments.

(Sahih Muslim, 1152)

Allah loves people who fast so much that he prepared a premium entrance to Paradise called the gate of Ar-Rayyan that no one else can enter except the ones who observed fasting.

Never sigh about fasting during Ramadan or even think about leaving a day of fasting in Ramadan except with an excuse acceptable by Shariah. Indeed, the Paradise is waiting for people who persevere in fasting.

even more generous in Ramadan, when Jibril used to meet him. Jibril used to meet him every night during Ramadan to revise the Qur'an with him. (Sahih al-Bukhari, 3554)

We have to follow the example of our Prophet (PBUH) who was more generous during Ramadan and spent every night revising the Qur’an.

Don’t forget to recite 2 pages of Al-Qur’an before and after every obligatory prayer so we can finish the whole Quran in Ramadan.

Abstaining from committing sins

Allah's Messenger (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) said, "Fasting is a shield (or a screen or a shelter). So, the person observing fasting should avoid sexual relation with his wife and should not

behave foolishly and impudently, and if somebody fights with him or abuses him, he should tell him twice, 'I am fasting." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, 1894)

Fasting is a means to help us abstain from committing sins. When someone begins an argument, always remind yourself that you are fasting and inform the person who tries to argue with you.

Ignore the screaming, shouting and insults of the ignorant. If you feel you want to argue, fight or say something bad, say aloud twice, “I am fasting”. None of us want only hunger and thirst from the fasting and a loss of all its blessings.

excessive. Indeed, He likes not those who commit excess.

United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) estimates that 1.3 billion tonnes of food is lost or wasted globally every year. We absolutely should not waste our food in Ramadan, as wasting food is an act of ungratefulness to Allah. This verse teaches us to eat and drink moderately so we don’t waste our food.

Make a daily plan for your Iftaar. Avoid going to the bazaar/market without a “shopping list” or else you may end up buying more than what you need.

Whoever provides Iftar to a fasting person will receive Hasanat (god deeds) equal to all the good deeds done by the fasting person that day.

that which you love. And whatever you spend - indeed, Allah is Knowing of it.

You won’t achieve the Jannah (Paradise) until you spend in the way of Allah what you treasure. Whatever you spend, no matter how small or how big it is, indeed, Allah is All Knowing and He will give rewards according to your good deeds.

Money is not the only thing that you can spend for the sake of Allah. You can can spend your time and energy as well for the sake of Allah. Your daily work benefits others. Thus, set your intention that you are doing your work for a purpose that pleases Allah, InshaAllah, your work will become ‘Ibadah.

Accustom yourself to recite Surah Al-Ikhlas 3 times before sleeping as it is equivalent in reward to reading the whole Qur’an! And it will only take 15 to 20 seconds!
